The NHL's San Jose Sharks are hoping to take a page from what the San Francisco 49ers did several years ago back when general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan rebuilt the franchise from scratch and turned it into a perennial postseason contender.
While the black and teal are in the earlier phases of this, it doesn't mean they can't get some love from their Niners neighbors nearby.
Quite literally. Levi's Stadium isn't exactly far away from the Shark Tank, a mere short drive down the Guadalupe Freeway.
Tight end George Kittle, who recently admitted his massive hockey fandom, was one of several San Francisco players who made the journey down to the SAP Center for the Sharks game against the Calgary Flames.
